Mexican Music.

Queretaro is a good place to see and hear
the native orchestra OF Mexico. A feast
day or a holiday, which is about the same
thing, brings into the city the Indian
musicians, with their curious-looking in
struments. A favorite place for their per-
Torrance is the tagging near the church
door. There they will sit or stand and
play tune after tune untiringly. Sometimes
there will be three or four of these musi-
clans, each with q different Instrument.
Now and then one Indian will 60 it alone,
but he will be a whole band by himself He
will hold his flute or pipe with one hand and
manipulate the notes with the fingers OF
the same hand A peculiar frame. half
drum-bead, half t~ambourine, he holds sus-
pended by a string in front OF him, and IN
this, with a single drum-stick, he beats a
lively, rafting accompaniment. 1t is as
tonishing how much music one Indinn will
get out of these two simple instruments OF
bis own devising. A small coin will
prompt q hearty gracious, senior, but there
is no request for compensation, no passing
around the hat. as il the case when the
stro!ling musicians of the States grind or
saw out a tune in the hotel lobbies or be-
meath the window. The performance
of the Indians about the church doors is
really a part of their devotions. They are
not driven away, even though service Is
going on within. An idea OF what the music
is like can hardly be given in words. 1t is
sweet and quaint, not noisy like the rude
and furious sounds the North American
Indians create for their dance accompanl-
ments. Nor is it monotonous, for there Is
q good range of notes and the volume
swells and diminishes.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A Queer Place to Have Wedding, But
the Law Sanctioned it.
The unconventional, if not romantic,
wedding which took place on the Northern
Pacific train at Rathdrum Sunday evening
was a ''picnic'' for the passengers, says the
Portland Oregonian. The bride is a Mrs.
A. A. Mitchell, Of Minneapolis, aged about
IS years. The groom is Mr.. b. F. Buck, a
he has lived about a year. He is about SO
years old. They made each others acquain-
tance several years ago in Madison. Wis.
Each moved to Minneapolis, About the
middle Of this menth Mrs. Mitchell secur, d
a divorce from her husband, and on Thurs
day of last week started west to meet her
new husband, taking passage in the Pull
man sleeper Dickenson, under command
of Conductor George Carter. There were
six through lady passengers and a dozen
or more gentlemen, among them Mr.. F +.
Rice, superintendent of the Pullman Car
Company, at st. Paul.
The train vas due at Rathdrum about 2
p. M, but did not arrive until midnight.
Mr.. Buck intended to be married on the

the train had passed the Idaho line, ard
had taken the Rev. Mr.. Beebe OF Spokane
Falls along to pe1forme the ceremony
While he was waiting at Rathdrum for the
delayed train he decided to be married in
Idaho, and fortunately found q justice of
the. peace. Under the avs of Idaho no
license is necessary. The train stops for
water at Rathdrum. Mr.. Buck hurried
into the car, found the bride waiting, de.
spite the late hour, led her to the rear plat
form Of the Pullman. and there they were
married. The couple stood on eacn side
Of the door, the squire in front of them.
and the two official witnesses, Paul F.
Moher and Ned Rice, just inside the car.
Near them stood a Scotch missionary en-
route to Alaska. The justice. a good
natured little man, tilted his hat on the
back of his head, took out a lead pencil,
and, sort of marking time with it as a con-
ductor does with q baton, began:
"Please join hands,"
Addressing groom: DO you take this
woman to be your lawful wlfe?"
Groon-'Ido."
Addressing bride: do you take this
to be your lawful husband2"
Bride-"I do"
Addressing both: "Then, under the au-
thority conferred on me by the Territory
OF 1OanO, l pronounce you nus DaHC anu
wife andrwhat God hath Joined together
let nc man put asunder." Then,
the train would start off
with him, he~ stepped off the
car to the platform and called out in the
darkness to Mr.. Buck: I'm sign these
papers and send them down on to-mor-
rows train" The groom called him back
and handed him q coin. The Squire
looked at it, returned thanks and ex-
claimed: I'M set it up fine for the boys
this"
The Scotch missionary was almost dumb
with establishment. Recovering his speech
he said to Mr.. Rice: mon, is this legal?
Do they do things laak that in this coun-
try?"
Mr.. Rice assured him that this ceremony
was strictly legal, and that it took no
more time to hang and bury a man in
